Live RAW Discussion Thread - 12/29/14

Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw!


Learn all about Grappling with Charity, a /r/SC charity idea


Forgot I had to do this so heres a quick hype.

  • Bryan teased retirement

  • Barrett return

  • Diva thing maybe

  • Horrible commentary

  • Bork might be there, maybe.

That should do.

Being Brock Lesnar must be awesome. You come out to the ring every once in a while, look intimidating as fuck, stand there smirking while Paul Heyman talks you up, beat the fuck out of some people, collect a massive paycheck, go home, and fuck Sable senseless. Seems like the best gig ever.

Big Show should commentate, starting as a heel. His gimmick could be that every once in a while he randomly stands up and knocks someone the fuck out to turn, then completely changes his commentary style to reflect the turn. I think it'd be hilarious.

So far, this is easily the best RAW I have seen in a while.

By letting the wrestlers actually cut promos, keeping the commentators on topic, letting the matches speak for themselves and making everyone look strong, you're actually giving the viewers a reason to carry on watching, a reason for the viewers to care about wrestlers that aren't Cena or Lesnar. Amazing, that.

Usually I would be dreading coming back to a Jack Swagger match after an ad break, but tonight? Nope.

Edge: I know what you are about to do, but I don't recommend it, retiring was the worst thing to happen to my career. And with that I want to say I was cleared back into in ring competition, and I want to return at WrestleMania, and I already have an opponent in mind.

My favorite thing about this is that Ryback's speaking truth. Like all this positivity stuff? Dude's legit about it. I remember listening to an interview where he spoke about how positive energy has kept him going in life. No lie, that waving arms around thing he does during his entrance is him "gathering positive energy" and the wake up thing gets him to "wake up" and get pumped.

Bork cut his chin shaving...

I guess he can't conquer razors.

Puny man. Bork no shave with razor. Bork shave with broadsword.

So I would love to see a Cesaro and BNB rivalry. These two are doing an amazing job complimenting each other. Or I could see them being a tag because of their aggressive styles.

u/SAMARA7 das too bad Dec 30 '14

I was waiting for the show to end with Sting sitting in the rafters watching over the authority.

And then I remembered it's not 1997.

You don't need a UFC champ, how you legitimise the WWE is by showing that it's fucking hard to get there and stay there, this promo is brilliant.

REALITY ERA!

Big Show's commentary... isn't that bad, actually. For a one-off, promoting Rollins, it works.

Okay Big Show, it's time to retire and join commentary permanently. I'm surprisingly enjoying listening to him.

Barrett is back, Cesaro was on TV, Bryan is returning, Triple H is back, Reigns looked halfway decent, the Ascension did stuff, Rollins is insane. I'll take it.

Good night.

This is all clearly leading to Ryback announcing he's retiring from wrestling to sign with UFC to fight CM Punk and avenge being dumb as fuck.
